Howdy HAMBers,
I have been into the old school stuff since my brother took me to Lion's Dragstrip when I was 10. Even though I never really had any cool cars, I always liked the vintage drags and going to El Mirage. About a year and a half back I scored a '50 Ford tudor. My son and I work on it whenever we can and have finally gotten it semi roadworthy(we still have lots of work to do). It has been a radical learning curve and I look foward to some tips and advice. I'd also like to add that my son has scrounged enough parts to start assembly of a '26 roadster, so the next generation already has a solid start.

Geoff is at every hot rod event in So. Cal, his shop is about a block away from my place of employment, he has a very cool car! Also his shop is a stones throw from two other shops, Wheelers and Foose.

In my line of work I'm definately part of the steamroller! But mine runs on diesel.
